Environment Canada has issued multiple special weather statements for Dauphin and surrounding areas.
They are currently in effect for many communities in the following areas:
- Dauphin - Russell - Roblin - Winnipegosis
- Ste. Rose - McCreary - Alonsa - Gladstone
- Minnedosa - Riding Mountain National Park
- Swan River - Duck Mountain - Porcupine Provincial Forest
According to Environment Canada, the first winter storm of the season will impact parts of Manitoba Sunday into Monday.
They say that precipitation will begin early Sunday morning in parts of Manitoba initially as rain and change to snow Sunday evening for northern Manitoba and Monday afternoon for southwestern Manitoba and that freezing rain will also accompany this system, particularly over higher terrain and the northern Interlake.
They also say that snowfall totals remain uncertain at this time due to the tracking of the system as well as the melting and compaction of snow and that 5 to 15 centimetres of snow is possible over higher terrain and areas north of the low track.
